What MIMplus Technologies does

MIMplus Technologies GmbH & Co. KG is a German specialty manufacturer of high-precision metal parts and assemblies, headquartered in Ispringen and operating as a subsidiary of OBE Holding GmbH. The company runs two complementary production technologies under one roof: Metal Injection Molding (MIM) for cost-effective, high-volume production of complex geometries, and sinter-based Additive Manufacturing (including MoldJet and Cold Metal Fusion) for flexible small-to-medium series with designs too complex for MIM. Its materials portfolio spans 20+ high-tech alloys and functional materials, including titanium, Inconel, stainless steels, and notably rare earth NdFeB permanent magnets produced via MIM, a category in which MIMplus is the only industrial producer worldwide.

The company sells primarily to enterprise customers in medical technology, automotive, aerospace and defense, electronics and robotics, luxury goods, and industrial machinery, with a direct sales-led, co-engineering GTM model. Pricing is quote-based on multi-year contracts, and revenue streams derive from manufacturing services plus engineering support for material selection and process optimization. The business holds a comprehensive certification stack covering ISO 9001, IATF 16949, ISO 13485, ISO 14001, EMAS, and EN 9100 (from 2025), and achieved carbon neutrality in Scope 1 and 2 in 2024. The MIMplus legal entity employs 80+ staff, while the broader OBE Group operates approximately 550 people across Germany (Pforzheim), China, and Vietnam, with 25+ million parts and assemblies produced annually.

Core offering

MIMplus Technologies manufactures high-precision metal parts and assemblies using Metal Injection Molding (MIM) and sinter-based Additive Manufacturing (AM), serving enterprise customers in medical, aerospace, automotive, electronics, and luxury goods. The company also produces the world's only industrially made MIM permanent magnets (NdFeB), enabling complex freeform geometries with customized magnetization. Offerings span from co-engineering and material selection through in-house mold construction, manufacturing, post-processing, and assembly.

Product overview

MIMplus Technologies offers a portfolio of metal manufacturing technologies centered around two core processes: Metal Injection Molding (MIM) and Additive Manufacturing (AM). MIM combines plastic injection molding flexibility with metal strength for high-volume production of complex parts, while AM (including Moldjet and Cold Metal Fusion technologies) provides greater design freedom for small to medium quantities. The company's materials portfolio includes over 20 high-tech materials such as stainless steels (316L, 17-4PH, 440C), tool steels (M2, 100Cr6), titanium (Grade 4), Inconel alloys, and proprietary permanent magnets (NdFeB). Engineering services including co-engineering and materials technology support complete the offering, enabling customers to optimize function and cost-effectiveness across industries including medical, aerospace, automotive, electronics, robotics, luxury goods, and defense.
